Men and women were declared equal one morning and everybody could divorce each other by postcard.

Men and women were declared equal one morning and everybody

Summary

This quote is a satirical reflection on the rapid and impersonal nature of societal changes and the ease of divorce. It highlights the notion that the declaration of equality between genders and the simplification of divorce processes can lead to a lack of emotional commitment and deeper connections among individuals. The use of "one morning" indicates how quickly and abruptly these changes occurred, suggesting an element of societal upheaval or lack of consideration for the consequences of such transformations. The mention of divorcing "by postcard" emphasizes the convenience and detachment associated with this act, highlighting the potential devaluation of commitments and relationships.
